She looked at us and swam down, reappearing about 50 metres away. We watched for about 10 minutes, with several sightings from 50m to 10m. The other seal, which looked a darker grey stayed at a distance of about 100 - 50m. She surfaced several times, staying at the surface for about 20 - 30 seconds each time.
